The Future of Sound: NAD MDC2 BLUOS Streaming Module – Transform Your Audio Experience

Experience a sound revolution with the NAD MDC2 BLUOS Streaming Module – the ultimate upgrade for NAD C389 and C399 amplifiers. The second generation of NAD Electronics' groundbreaking MDC technology, introduced in 2006, has allowed owners of select NAD components to retroactively enhance their systems with new features such as Dolby Atmos®, 4K video, or BluOS™ multiroom streaming.

The MDC2 BluOS module introduces an entirely new architecture that optimizes communication and signal transmission between the module and NAD devices. This opens up various upgrade options not only for the C389 and C399 but also for future MDC2-compatible components.

A standout feature of the MDC2 is the integration of Dirac Live® room correction into the NAD stereo system. This innovative feature analyzes room acoustics using a supplied calibrated microphone and a user-friendly app. The data collected is transmitted to the MDC2 BluOS module, which not only corrects the frequency response but also optimizes the impulse response. The result? Precise bass reproduction and remarkable clarity for music and movie soundtracks.

Discover the world of high-resolution music streaming up to 24-bit/192 kHz with the MDC2 BluOS module. The accompanying app is available for iOS, macOS, Android, and Windows, providing access to a variety of internet radio stations and over 20 streaming services. With support for up to 63 BluOS™-enabled players in the network and integration into home control systems from ELAN, Crestron, Control4, Lutron, RTI, and others, the possibilities are endless.

The MDC2 module is designed for future-proofing and flexibility. In addition to the latest Wi-Fi and Ethernet protocols, it also supports Apple AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, and Tidal Connect. The bidirectional Bluetooth® aptX® HD functionality allows simultaneous sending and receiving of audio data in the highest quality. A USB port enables the connection of a USB storage device, and local music servers can be seamlessly integrated into the network.

Enhance your listening experience and transform your home into a place of audiophile sound quality and unparalleled flexibility with the NAD MDC2 BLUOS Streaming Module.

History of NAD

In 1972, NAD was founded as an entirely new audio company. A group of Hi-Fi importers in Europe, all music lovers, aimed to develop Hi-Fi components that offered excellent sound quality at moderate prices. When founder and long-time managing director Marty Borish hired sound engineer Björn Erik Edvardsen as a developer, he laid the foundation for the magical world of NAD. Under Edvardsen's leadership, the legendary NAD 3020 was created, becoming the best-selling amplifier in Hi-Fi history. Further groundbreaking innovations from NAD followed, such as the first cassette deck with Dolby C (6100), the revolutionary premium CD player NAD 5200, and the digital amplifier M2, which debunked the myth that digital Hi-Fi components could not deliver good sound. All these products were based on remarkable technologies developed either by NAD itself or in collaboration with external technology partners and continue to form the basis for the outstanding sound quality of all NAD Hi-Fi components today.

The legacy of Marty Borish and Björn Erik Edvardsen continues to shape the company's motto: Making the reproduction of music in true Hi-Fi sound quality accessible and affordable for everyone.
